Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands on the verge at the junction of Forge Lane and Northiam Road. In Portland stone and some 3m high, it comprises a tapered stone column surmounted by a couchant lion baring his teeth. Beneath the lion is a small county shield. Below the lion is incised THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. On a stone panel and carved in relief on the front face of the column the principal dedicatory inscription reads IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THE PARISH/ OF EWHURST/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918./ (21 NAMES). Below this a later panel reads ALSO IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FELL/ IN THE SECOND GREAT WAR 1939-1945/ (9 NAMES). There is a small paved surround defined by a chain supported on four low stone pillars.
